Opening File

[Mike C.]

Thanks for trying to address my problem.  I tried changing the 
preferences and found the changes are saved.  All data entered is saved 
so nothing is lost.  The only problem is that when I start GC it opens 
to the old data file so that then I have to go open the new file.  I 
found that if I shut down GC and then reopen it without shutting down 
the computer it then opens in the new file as expected but when I 
hibernate the computer and then restart the computer and GC again it 
opens to the old file.  I did this several times to make sure it happens 
each time.  There is something that is not being saved on shutdown.  Any 
suggestions on how to fix this?
Mike
